This preparation method reimagines a classic sandwich in a deconstructed format, served in a bowl rather than on a hoagie roll. It typically includes thinly sliced steak, sauted onions and peppers, and melted cheese, often provolone or cheese sauce, layered over a base that can range from rice or cauliflower rice to lettuce or even french fries.
This style of food preparation offers a versatile, often lower-carbohydrate alternative to the traditional sandwich. It allows for customized portion control and dietary modifications, making it adaptable to various nutritional needs and preferences. The dish’s roots are clearly tied to the iconic Philadelphia sandwich, maintaining its flavor profile while offering a different presentation.
